AGNES MAE (SANTAW) ANDERSON - ENOSBURG - Agnes Mae Anderson passed away on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2011. She was born on Dec. 15, 1934, in North Troy, Vt., to Mabel (Westover) and William Santaw. She graduated from Concord High School in 1952 as Salutatorian. She married Glendon Fox and had five daughters. Agnes worked at home providing childcare for many years. She was involved in the Vermont Girl Scout Council as well as Sunday and Bible school. While living in St. Johnsbury, Vt., she volunteered to work with disabled children and received many community service awards. Agnes was President of TOPS in Danville, Vt., and was crowned State Queen for losing the most weight that year. She was also President of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary Post 793 for three years. After 25 years of marriage, Agnes moved to St. Albans, Vt. She worked at Franklin/Grand Isle Mental Health (NCSS) for eight years. She loved working with the people at the Marshall Center. During this time, she graduated from Community College of Vermont. She was very proud to be chosen for "Who's Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges." Agnes also spent a number of years working at Verdelle. On July 11, 1987, Agnes married Bacil Anderson. They were able to celebrate their 24th anniversary with a car ride and a maple creemee, two things she really enjoyed. Although Agnes' last few months were spent at St. Albans Healthcare and Rehabilitation, Bacil was at her side every day. While living in Franklin County, Agnes was a very dedicated member of TOPS VT #97. She was a great leader and truly was "The Heart of The Chapter." She loved encouraging the numerous friends she made over the years and participating in the workshops and annual SRD.
